A 72-year-old woman lost $ 30,000 last week after a fraudster pretending to be CIBC called her and spoke with her on the phone — for four hours .

Vancouver police said Friday this is just one of several complaints they have received lately about a new bank card scam targeting seniors.

Fraudsters have been calling victims from a phone number that appears to be a legitimate financial institution and claiming there has been irregular activity on their bank accounts.
